here comes the important point what even FN mentioned " what kind of collabration are we going to make with them" ?. it should purely depend on the nature of organisation we are dealing with.
Ms.Smitha Rao's NGO adopted the use of LTSP software for one of their schools.Mr.Zabil helped her with the installation and technical support.Mr.Herald from Hyderabad had developed course ware which is also being in some schools.
Smitha writes in to say ....
Dear All, I am Smitha Rao, I work for a non-profit Organisation- Shala Network in Bangalore. Our focus is 'IT in Education' and thus we support rural under-priviledged schools with computers and related infrastucture,making available the relevant educational content in the local language,Training of teachers,evaluation and monitoring of the programe...etc, we have partnered with another non-profit Organisation- S3IDF which concentrates on Rural Infrastructure Development. We have executed projects in rural parts of Chitradurga and Bellary.
We would be interested in developing good content for educational purposes using Open source softwares and LTSP solutions.
Thanks, Smitha
I think these few areas that FSUG members can help out Smitha's NGO by
1) Developing Course ware that be used in schools. 2) Localisation of course ware into Kannada. 3) Unidentifing new application that can be used for education and incorporating local content in these tools. 4) Providing help to install,maintain and train the use of LTSP based solutions.
Yesterday, I met Mr.Veena who's starting to work with another NGO in BR Hills near bangalore.If people can come forward to help, there is nothing like it.
Have a great day
